Hey, Just wondering what the "correct" procedure for migrating to a new larger HD would be? In fact, I don't even really want to migrate and reinstall everything, I would much rather resize partitions, but I don't think this is possible. What I have is the following: 1 x 15GB [existing] 1 x 20GB [adding in about 1 month] 1 x 60GB [adding in about 2 months] Currently in the 15GB I have in the machine, my setup is: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 121M 54M 58M 48% / /dev/ad0s1h 10G 945M 8.3G 10% /home /dev/ad0s1g 97M 1.9M 87M 2% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 3.1G 1.8G 1.0G 63% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 363M 11M 323M 3% /var procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc I wish I allocated more space to various partitions, especially /usr. So I guess my questions boil down to these: 1) What is the appropriate migration strategy, if any, to install my 20GB? If I reinstall my entire system, what should I be saving from my current HD? 2) I'm thinking I should just allocate the 20GB drive entirely to /home and redistribute the entire 15GB to the rest of the partitions. Any sizing strategy? (note: I'm not worried about the 60GB, cuz I'm just going to mount that to something like /home2 for data and mp3's) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
